  • It has been years since I played with it but OpenStack is a suite of tools to build a data center like AWS or Azure. You can get the VM bit up and running pretty quick with basic packages on an Ubuntu system if you want to play with it, but again it has been years.

    What is your goal? Playing with kvm may be a better path if you want to understand virtualization.

    If you want to upskill for a job, I’d see if there is a certificate to work on. Even if you don’t want the cert, the curriculum might be a good starting point.







  • Back before Amazon (I’m sure it still exists I just haven’t been in retail), on Black Friday we had a loss leader that would bring people to the store. In our case it was a pallet of DVD players. We priced them at break even at our cost to get them to the store so we would lose money on the sale if you accounted for labor. The goal was to entice people into the store so they would buy our other crap.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if “loss leaders” aren’t actually losing money these days with how our Corporations are doing.

    Edit: not you as in op I was responding to but “you” being whoever is going to the restaurant
